"I used to work part time as a security officer, but in 2007 I decided to pursue a second career. With the help of my employment consultant at Employment Solutions, I was able to apply for funding and return to school. I graduated from the Electrical Engineering-Power Generation program at Sault Collegein April of 2009. I now work for Great Lakes Power in Sault Ste. Marie."

Jennifer Tessier

I started nearly two years ago trying to figure out how I could change my life and have a career that boosted my self-confidence. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities helped me achieved my goal.

I attended Sault College in the fall of 2008, enrolled as a Personal Support Worker student. By the summer of 2009, I was attending my graduation as an honour roll student with distinction.  I am currently employed with the Algoma Residential Community Hospice; a very special place to be that I am proud to say I’m a part of. As well, I am employed at We Care, which offers a beautiful perspective in health care. To top it all off, I’m starting a new chapter in my life as a home owner – something I never thought I could achieve, but am now working towards.

There aren’t enough thank-yous or words to express how thankful I am to be given this awesome opportunity.
To the people at Sault College Employment Solutions – Maggie and Krysia, from the bottom of my heart, thank-you for your hard work and dedication.
